The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 13 Too Shocking
Wei Ning opened the reputation value system.

Last night's competition with Lao Zhang greatly increased his reputation. Now he has a balance of 163 reputation in the system.

Weining browsed through the system mall for a while and found Equestrian Mastery.

After looking at the price, Weining was shocked. This required one thousand reputation points, and his reputation balance was far from enough.

Weining's temperament is not flamboyant, and it is difficult for him to take the initiative to do anything exaggerated to gain attention.

It's really difficult to increase your reputation.

Wei Ning was a little worried that his reputation would not increase and he didn't know how long it would take to learn to ride a horse simply by relying on his understanding.

Although his intelligence has been loaded, learning to ride a horse does not happen overnight.

If he were allowed to study normally, he would definitely learn faster than ordinary people, but the problem is that what he lacks most now is time.

Now we are getting closer and closer to Dingxiang City. When we reach Dingxiang, the army may march out to attack the Huns at any time.

In such a short period of time, it is too difficult for Weining to learn to ride a horse based on his own understanding. Moreover, he now not only needs to learn to ride a horse, but also needs to be proficient and able to fight on horseback.

The ability to fight on horses is very different from fighting on land, and it will be more difficult.

Wei Ning frowned and sighed softly.

"Losing your fighting spirit so quickly?"

Wei Qing walked over with his hands behind his back and stood behind Wei Ning.

When Wei Ning saw Wei Qing, he quickly got off his horse, cupped his fists and said, "See you, general."

He still didn't know who the general in front of him was, he had only met him once that night.

Wei Qing said: "Stop being polite."

"If you want to learn to ride a horse, there are only a few essentials. Huo Qubing should tell you."

"Have more contact with the horse. Don't resist it. Treat it as a friend. Relax. You were too nervous just now. What are you afraid of?"

Wei Ning said in shame, "I don't know what I'm afraid of. I'm just afraid of falling at any time."

Wei Qing hummed and said, "A common problem among newcomers is that the more they are afraid, the worse they will ride."

"Get on the horse."

Wei Ning hummed and got on his horse. Wei Qing also turned over and sat behind Wei Ning.

"Hold the reins and let's go!"

"it is good!"

Wei Ning reined in the horse, and Wei Qing slapped the horse's butt.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
The horses began to gallop forward wildly.

Wei Ning's heart tightened, and he clamped his legs tightly on the horse's belly. The horse was in pain and galloped faster.

Wei Qing said: "You are still afraid. The more you resist, the harder it will be to tame it."

"Relax, relax your legs."

After galloping all the way for who knows how long, Wei Ning felt that he was somewhat able to control the horse, but his technique was still very rough.

Wait until you return to the camp again.

Huo Qubing watched from a distance, shocked at the scene in front of him, and rubbed his eyes fiercely.

isn't it?
Uncle is teaching him to ride a horse?
What's going on here?

He couldn't figure it out. Is his uncle so boring?He was the commander of this march, so how could he have time to teach a new recruit how to ride a horse?
Huo Qubing was greatly confused.

He didn't bother Wei Qing and Wei Ning, and left with his heart full of thoughts.

But not to mention, my uncle and Wei Ning were sitting on the same horse, and their expressions were really similar.

Weining turned over and dismounted.

He led the horse and followed Wei Qing into the military camp.

"It's getting late. Let's continue training with Huo Qubing tomorrow. Go back and rest early."

Wei Ning hurriedly said: "Yes."

Wei Qing didn't say much, took a deep look at Wei Ning, and left with his hands behind his back.Wei Ning stopped Wei Qing and said: "General."

Wei Qing looked back, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "What?"

Wei Ning scratched his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little curious as to why our horses aren't shoed."

"horseshoe?"

Wei Qing looked at him with some confusion and asked, "What is a horseshoe?"

Wei Ning: "Huh?"

"Aren't horses' hooves easily worn out?"

Wei Qing nodded.

Over the years, the Han Dynasty has eliminated war horses one after another. Horses have special emotions for soldiers.

No one wants the horses that have been with them for many years to retire from the battlefield, but the wear and tear of the horses' hooves has made many horses unable to adapt to the intensity of the battlefield.

When a horse's hoof is worn to a certain extent, the cuticle on the horse's hoof will completely fall off. When the meat touches the ground, the horse will not be able to adapt to high-intensity running. In the end, it can only be used as a means of transportation for carrying goods among the people.

Wei Qing's heart bleeds every time he sees these scenes.

Wei Ning continued: "Then nail hoops on the horses' hoofs."

"Horses' hooves are similar to our human nails, but they are thicker than ours. They won't feel any pain when the hoops are nailed on. The wear of the hoops and the ground can reduce the load on the horses' hooves."

Wei Qing was a soldier and he knew the characteristics and structure of horses very well.

When he listened to Wei Ning's explanation, Wei Qing was stunned. He looked at Wei Ning blankly, and after a long time he said sternly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

There was reluctance and anger in this voice.

Why has no one come up with such a small gadget?

If someone had told it earlier, how many war horses would the big man be able to continue running on the battlefield, and how many more horses would the big man be able to add!

It is easy to imagine how depressed Wei Qing feels when he sees the eliminated horses being left on the battlefield every year. But they can obviously fight on the battlefield for a few more years!
Wei Ning: "I have never been in contact with horses..."

Only then did Wei Qing realize that his reaction just now was too exciting and might frighten the child, so he walked up to Wei Ning and patted Wei Ning's shoulder without saying anything.

"I'm not talking about you, I just...hate!"

"My child, you... are very good! You have made a great contribution today!"

"I will go to the court to express my merit for you. Your move will be a great contribution to the entire Han cavalry!"

"Okay, okay!"

"Good boy, go to bed early."

Wei Ning hummed and said, "General, go slowly, I'm going back to the camp first."

"Go."

Wei Qing watched Wei Ning leave, took a deep breath, and walked toward the tent with a boastful stride.

After sitting down in the camp, Wei Qing shouted to the outside world: "Call all the generals, gather together, quickly!"

Not long after, a group of generals arrived at Wei Qing's central army. They thought Wei Qing needed control tactics.

"Listen up! Don't sleep much tonight, all the cavalry will equip this general with horseshoes!"

horseshoe?
Everyone looked at Wei Qing suspiciously.

After Wei Qing explained, everyone's eyes changed from initial confusion to gradual clarity, and finally they were extremely shocked, and they all said excitedly: "Yes!"

"Here!"

"General, this... is so great! General!"

Wei Qing smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "It wasn't me, it was Wei Ning, a new soldier from the cavalry battalion who came up with it."

Huo Qubing was stunned for a moment.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise!

Is it him?
